My husband works for a lab and does research on blood.  

Plus many more questions.I am open to partnering with a seasoned investor locally here in Southwest Houston, Richmond, Rosenberg or Sugar Land TX. 

Hey @Bill Gulley Yes I do plan on getting an attorney involved at some point but I want to know which direction I'm going before I start paying those blood sucking vultures by the hour. 

I was just looking at a house on cl in Georgia. 835k purchase ARV 1.2-1.5 milrehab 140ksounds good but to rich for my blood lol

Don't just run in throwing money around, even less-than-smart people will smell blood in the water right away.Even if you stand to make a fortune in this deal (and I'm hoping you are, since you're willing to torch six months rent to get into this property), don't just give money away for nothing, it's bad practice.

I do not go to their meetings (far from Sugar Land), but I'd imagine being in that area there will be a few other Galveston area investors as well.  

Once I get one property the idea is to build a portfolio but that will come with blood, sweat, and tears.

Not sure I would be investing in RE there, well... maybe farm land in India and stock in Deere to take advantage of the growing cane market / technology (assuming the need for massive sugar demand to produce building materials).To the question, for me... hands down Option B. 

As I said, I live in Australia, however my blood is North American and I have travelled a lot of North America seeing all my family and I also had a look at some proprties when I was there, mainly in Florida.

The government might have to send a little sugar to Wall Street but probably not as much as the numbers they've been talking.
